JONESBORO (AP) — Jonesboro police have released dashboard camera footage taken the night a Mississippi man died while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.

Police officials said late Thursday the investigation into the death of 21-year-old Chavis Carter is ongoing but was at a point where the footage, 911 audio recordings, and video and audio of witness interviews could be released without compromising the probe's integrity.

Authorities say Carter shot himself in the head with a gun he concealed after officers stopped a truck he was riding in July 28.

The officers searched him twice and found marijuana but didn't find a gun until after they discovered him bleeding in the back of the police car.

Family members and others have criticized the investigation, and the FBI is monitoring the case.
